The Leica Project

For nine years Jock Sturges used a Leica S medium format camera with different Leica S lenses for his work, bundled in this new book.

Jock Sturges is an American photographer known for his large-format portraits of nude adolescents. His black-and-white prints capture subjects on naturist beaches in the United States and France. The controversial nature of his imagery has raised concerns throughout his career, but Sturges has remained steadfast, photographing his subjects-often alongside their families-over several years.
